Our Story
The Shenandoah Valley Scholars Latino Initiative (SV-SLI) was founded in 2011-12 to support undocumented Latino high school students in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. This initiative emerged from a collaboration of educators, community organizers, and business leaders who recognized the challenges faced by Hispanic students in accessing higher education. By enriching academic experiences and providing mentorship, SV-SLI helps students excel academically and realize their college dreams.
